PREFACE 


TKK  DIRECTORY  OF  CHICAGO,  now  presented  to  the  public,  may  be 
regarded  as  an  experiment.  It  must  be  decided  by  those  for  whose  use 
and  benefit  it  has  been  prepared,  whether  it  is  required,  and  can  be  sus- 
tained. The  sudden  rise,  and  unexampled  prosperity  of  Chicago,  have 
created  a  curiosity  in  regard  to  its  early  history,  and  the  incidents  connected 
with  its  rise  and  progess,  which  considerations  of  interest,  if  nothing  else, 
impel  us  to  embrace  every  suitable  opportunity  to  gratify.  It  is  believed, 
that  heretofore  the  sources  of  information  have  been  altogether  inadequate 
lo  accomplish  this  purpose.  While  the  most  strenuous  exertions  have  been 
made,  in  other  places,  by  misrepresentation  and  downright  falsehood,  in 
regard  to  our  circumstances  and  condition,  to  induce  emigration  to  stop 
short  or  to  pass  by  us,  and  to  divert  capital  and  enterprise  into  other  and 
foreign  channels;  very  little  or  nothing  has  been  done  on  our  part,' to 
remedy  the  evil,  and  disabuse  the  public  mind  abroad,  of  the  false  impres- 
sions thus  engendered.  Relying  upon  the  reality  which  the  experience  of 
every  day  presents  to  us,  of  our  condition — upon  what  we  know  ourselves, 
of  the  never  failing  sources  of  our  prosperity,  we  have  been  comparatively 
indifferent  in  regard  to  the  opinion  of  others,  and  blind  to  the  effect  of  that 
opinion  upon  our  own  interest.  The  ignorance  prevailing  at  the  East, 
even  in  those  cities  with  which  we  have  the  most  intimate  commercial 
relations,  in  regard  to  the  size,  business,  and  resoures  of  Chicago,  has  been 
a  matter  of  surprise  to  all  whose  attention  has  been  called  to  the  fact. 
The  present  is  a  most  important  juncture  in  our  affairs.  Our  prospects  are 
brightening — our  harbor  is  nearly  completed — the  work  on  our  canal  shortly 
to  be  resumed  — the  credit  of  our  state  daily  improving — and  the  financesof 
our  City  in  a  most  flourishing  condition.  Our  citizens  will,  we  hope,  for- 
ever be  exempt  from  the  burdens  of  heavy  taxation.  Never  were  the  in- 
ducements to  emigrate  and  settle  here,  greater  than  at  the  present  time. 
It  has  been  thought,  that  a  Directory,  containing,  in  addition  to  the  matter 
usually  introduced  into  such  works,  a  brief  historical  and  statistical  account 
of  the  City,  may,  independent  of  the  benefit  which  our  citizens  will  derive 
from  it,  in  the  transaction  of  business,  be  made  to  subserve  the  additional 
purpose  of  conveying  to  the  public  abroad  a  correct  impression  of  the  City, 
in  almost  every  particular. 

The  utmost  difficulty  has  been  experienced,  while  preparing  the  histo- 
rical and  statistical  parts  of  the  work,  in  procuring  factsand  statements  from 
authentic  sources.  Consequently,  those  parts  are  less  full  and  perfect  than 
they  were  originally 'intended  to  be — much  less  so  than  the  author  would 
have  made  them.  Errors  and  omissions  will  doubtless  be  discovered  through- 
out the  work — no  apologies,  however,  will  be  necessary  to  those  who  are 


IV  PREFACE. 

acquainted  with  the  difficulties  in  the  way  of  preparing  the  first  Directory 
for  a  new  city.  Such  persons  would  probably  be  more  surprised  to  find  it 
in  every  respect  perfect.  Nothing  has  intentionally  been  left  out,  that  could 
add  either  to  the  interest  or  value  of  the  work.  - 

The  greatest  exertion  has  been  made,  to  give  the  nnmes  of  Germans  and 
other  Old  Country  people,  correctly.  Notwithstanding  this,  mistakes  will 
doubtless  be  discovered  in  the  orthography  of  these  names,  owing  to  the 
fact,  that  in.'iny  are  unable  to  spell  their  own  names,  in  Fnglish.  It  is 
hoped,  however,  that  instances  of  this  kind  will  not  be  found  to  be  nume- 
rous. In  subsequent  editions  of  the  work  the  author  hopes  to  be  able  to 
avoid  them  altogether,  and  aLsd'to  give  the  names  of  such  persons  as  are 
not  included  in  this  volume.  "  ^_ 

Chicago,  it  is  to  be  remembere'd.is  yet  in  its  infancy,  and  subject  to  fluc- 
tuation in  its  population  and  biiviness/more  so  than  larger  and  older  cities. 
So  far  as  this  is  true,  a  Directory  will  be  of  less  utility.  It  is  believed, 
however,  that  this  inconvenience  is  diminishing,  and  will  be  lees  felt  here- 
after. Our  cilizens  art;  becoming  sensible  of  the  importance  of  fixed  habi- 
tations, and  places  of  busincs- — and  will  speedily  take  measures  to  secure 
to  themselves  the  benefits  and  advantages  to  be  derived  therefrom.  This, 
to  a  considerable  extent,  has  been  effected  the  present  season.  Nearly 
three-fourths  of  our  populaiion  will  hereafter,  at  least  for  many  years,  be 
permanently  located.  Hoping  that  the  book  may  be  made  in  many  ways 
to  subserve  a  useful  purpose,  and  prove  the  means  of  advancing,  to  some 
extent,  the  interest  of  our  young  but  flourishing  City,  it  is  most  respectfully 
submitted  to  the  public.  Our  citizens  have  always  been  characterised  for 
their  liberality  and  public  spirit.  They  will  not,  in  this  instance,  forfeit 
their  claims  to  this  distinction,  but  will  generously,  and  cheerfully  lend 
their  aid  and  co-operation,  to  sustain  an  undertaking,  designed  to  promote 
and  advance  the  interests  of  the  whole. 

To  those  gentlemen  who  have  encouraged  the  work,  both  as  subscribers 
and  advertisers,  and  those  who  have  afforded  information,  and  contributed 
their  advice  in  furtherance  of  the  design  of  the  publication,  the  author 
would,  in  conclusion,  tender  his  most  sincere  thanks. 


CHICAGO,  December  1,  1843. 


DESCRIPTION 


AND 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH 


CHICAGO,  Cook  County,  Illinois,  is  situated  on  the  South- 
western shore  of  Lake  Michigan,  at  the  head  of  Lake  navigation,  in 
lat.  41  deg.,  45  sec.,  North,  and*  long.  10  deg.,  45  sec.  West.  The 
•  site  of  the  City  occupies  a  level  prairie,  on  both  sides  of  the  majn 
stream,  and  the  North  and  South  Branches  of  Chicago  River,  and 
covers  an  area  of  about  three  and  a  half  miles  in  length.  North  arid 
South,  and  two  and  a  half  in  breadth,  East  and  West,  about  a  mile 
and  a  half  square  of  which  is  already  regularly  built  upon,  and  the 
streets  opened  and  graded.  The  streets  are  regularly  laid  out,  pa- 
rallel ami  at  risiht  angles  to  the  Lake,  and  are  wide  and  spacious. 
There  are  several  extejisive  blocks  of  brick  buildings,  principally 
.occupied  as  business  houses  and  public  offices,  three  and  a  half  and 
four  stories  in  height.  The  dwellings  are  principally  of  wood, 
m:\ny  of  them,  however,  very  fine  specimens  of  correct  architecture. 
The  portion  of  the  City  extending  several  miles  along  the  shore  of 
the  Lake,  is  sandy,  and  consequently  at  all  seasons,  dry.  The  por- 
tion removed  from  the  Lake  partakes  of  the  character  of  all  level 
prairie,  being  in  the  spring  and  fall  wet  and  muddy.  The  site  of  the 
City  being  a  plain,  does  not  afford,  either  from  the  Lake  or  the  sur- 
rounding country,  a  very  interesting  field  of  vision.  Chicago  River 
.and  its  branches,  which  run  through  the  heart  of  the  City,  and  ad- 
mit at  nil  seasons,  vessels  of  every  class  navigating  the  Lake,  some 
distance  into  the  interior,  afford  peculiar  facilities  for  a  harbor,  and 
give  to  Chicago  advantages,  in  a  commercial  point  of  view,  unsur- 
.pnssed  by  any  City  in  the  West.  The  Illinois  and  Michigan  CanaU 
.which  is  shortly  to  be  completed,  will  add  greatly  to  the  natural  nd-» 
vantages  of  Chicago,  making  it  a  principal  point,  and  necessarily  a 
place  of  transhipment  on  the  great  Northern  route  connecting  the 
Atlantic  States  with  the  valley  of  the  Mississippi.  The  City  is 
bounded  on  the  South  and  West  by  a  prairie,  varying  from  ten  to 
twelve  mijer  in  width,  some  portion  of  which  is  high,  and  of  a  very 
superior  Duality.  It  is  surrounded  in  every  direction,  by  a  country 
the  most  productive  in  the  world,  already  brought  into  a  state  of 
successful  cultivation,  and  sending  to  its  market  annually,  a  vast 
amount  of  produce  of  every  description  for  sale,  exchange  for  goods, 
or  shipment,  r.s  the  case  may  be.  The  climate  is  healthy  and  salu- 
brious, as  much  so  as  any  in  the  West.  In  1837,  Chicago  became 

1 


DESCRIPTION    AND 

an  incorporated  City,  the  act  of  the  legislature  conferring  its  charter 
being  granted  and  approved  March  4th  of  that  year.  The  City  is 
divided  info  six  Wards.  The  first  and  second  "Wards,  divided' by 
Clark  Street,  are  bounded  by  the  South  Branch,  Chicago  River,  and 
the  Lake — the  first  Ward  lying  East,  and  the  second  West  of  Clark 
Street.  The  third  and  fourth  Wards,  divided  by  Randolph  >v 
are  situated  on  the  West  side  of  the  North  and  South  Branch*'*; — 
the  third  South,  and  the  fourth  North  of  Randolph  Street.  The 
fifth  and  sfxlh  Wards',  divided  by  Clark  Street,  are  bounded  by  the 
North  Branch,  Chicago  River,  and  the  Lake — the  fifth  being  West, 
and  the  sixth  East  of  Clark  Street.  The  government  of  the  City  is 
vested  in  a  Common  Council,  composed  of  the  Mayor  and  twelve 
Aldermen,  two  for  each  ward,  all  chosen  annually.  The  Common 
Council,  in  addition  to  their  other  powers  and  duties,  are  constitu- 
ted, by  virtue  of  their  office,  Commissioners  of  Common  Schools, 
with  power  to  levy  and  collect  taxes  for  their  support,  and  to  exer- 
"cise  a  general  supervision  over  matters  pertaining  to  then).  In 
1832,  and  the  beginning  of  1833,  Chicago  had  about  100  inhabitants 
and  five  or  six  log  houses,  exclusive  of  the  Fort  and  its  appurte- 
nances. In  1840,  the  population  had  increased  to  4.Q53.  The  pre- 
sent population  exceeds  75SO,  and  mr>y  be  said  at  this  time  to  amount 
to  8000.  The  period  of  the  greatest  prosperity  of  Chicago,  was 
from  1333  to  1837.  The  revul>ions  and  reverse's  of '3G-7,  ereatly 
ictarded  its  growth.  It  continued,  however,  though  more  gradually, 
to  increase  in  business  and  resources  until  1^10-1.  from  which  lime 
business  received  a  new  impulse,  and  it  is  now  enjoying  a  degree  of 
prosperity  equal  to  any  former  period  of  Hs  history. 
.  What  the  destiny  of  Chicago  is  to  be,  the  future  cnn  alone  deter- 
mine. Judging  by  the  past,  it  seems  difficult  to  assign  a  limit  to 
its  advancement.  It  presents,  undoubtedly,  one  of  the  most  remark - 
.able  instances  of  sudden  rise  to  commercial  importance,  to  be  found 
in  our  age.  So  rapid,  indeed,  has  been  its  growth — with  such 
gigantic  strides  has  it  moved  onward  in  its  career,  that  little  space 
is  left  to  mark  and  calculate  the  successive  stages  of  its  progress. 
We  behold  it,  from  a  distant  arid  isolated  colony,  inhabited  only  by 
some  five  or  six  families  clinging  to  a  lone  and  solirnry  military 
post  for  protection,  and  dependent  for  subsistence  upon  tJae  uncer- 
tain arrival  of  some  chance  vessel  from  Mackinaw,  in  the  short  spa^ce 
of  eight  or  ten  years,  become  a  mighty  City,  teeming  with  a  busy 
and  enterprising  population,  the  centre  of  a  widely  extended  and 
flourishing  commerce.  To  those  who  have  been  here  from  the  be- 
ginning, and  there  are  many  among  us,  the  change  must  be- strik- 
ing ^-the  contrast  between  what  is,  and  what  was — great  indeed. 
History,  in  this  instance,  has  assumed  the  air  of  ronnnce.  Truly 
has  a  change  come  over  the  spirit  of  our  dream.  It  seems  diffi- 
cult to  reconcile  to  the  mind,  that  the  spot  now  covered  wirh 
stately  blocKVof  buildings,  and  alive  in  ev^ry  direction  with  a 
busy  and  eager  multitude,  actively  and  profitably  employed  in  the 
numerous  departments  of  our  growing  commerce,  was,  so  recently, 
a  low  and  marshy  plain,  of  which  trfe  wild  beasts  of  the  prairies  were 
almost  the  solitary  tenants;  that  but  yesterday,  comparatively,  the 
wild  .Indian  held  here  his  council-fire,  and  roamed  abroad  unmolest- 
ed in  the  enjoyment  of  his  native  freedom. 

A  country  so  recent  as  this  cannot  be  pre'sumed  to  afford  very 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH.  7 

abundant  materials  for  history.  The  incidents,  however,  connected 
with  the  rise  and  progress  of  the  City — the  causes  which  first  gave 
it  an  impulse — and  the  works  of  public  and  domestic  improvement, 
upon  which  its  future  prosperity  depend,  together  with  such  events 
as  transpired  upon  the  spot,  at  an  early  day,  may,  perhaps,  furnish 
a  narrative  not  altogether  uninteresting,  and  no^inconsistent  with  our 
present  purpose.  For  a  western  settlement,  Chicago  can  claim  no 
inconsiderable  degree  of  antiquity.  In  regard  to  its  earlier  history, 
however,  very  little  can  be  affirmed  with  any  degree  of  certainty. 
The  original  proprietors  and  first  inhabitants  of  the  region,  were,  of 
course,  the  aborigines.  The  description  of  the  first  appearance  of 
the  vicinity,  by  some  of  its  earliest  explorers,  leads  to  the  belief,  that 
they  were  here  from  a  very  early  period ;  that  this  was,  then,  and 
from  time  immemorial  had  been,  the  site  of  an  Indian  village; 
Major  Long,  among  others,  mentions  the  number  and  apparent  an- 
tiquity of  the  trails  centring  here,  as  evidence  of  the  truth  of  this 
position.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  so  little  can  be  ascertained  with 
certainty,  of  the  lives  and  fortunes  of  the  various  tribes  which,  at 
different  times,  flourished  on  the  spot.  The  melancholy  truth,  that 
they  have  passed  away  from  their  ancient  dwelling-places,  consti- 
tutes about  all  we  know  of  them.  Those  wild  races  of  primitive 
men  have  been  swept  away  by  the  onward  march  of  civilization. 
Their  rude  wigwams  and  bark  canoes  have  given  place  to  the 
princely  dwellings  and  the  stately  ships  of  another  and  a  different 
class  of  beings.  Chieft.iin  and  warrior  are  gone.  It  is  only  occa- 
sionally that  a  '.miserable  remnant  find  their  way  back  from  their 
new  homes  in  the  more  distant  west,  to  wi.tuess  the  transformation 
which  is  going  on  in  this  land  of  their  forefathers.  Their  visits  are 
becomiug  less  and  less  frequent.  Each  year  witnesses  so  many 
chances,  that  soon  they  will  cease  to  recognise,  in  the  scene,  any 
semblance  to  Us  former  self.  All  .will  soon  be  changed — save  only 
the  beating  of  the  waves  on  the  shore  of  the  lake  over  which  man 
can  exercise  no  control.  The  Illinois,  the  Shawnees,  and  the  Pota- 
watamies  will  be  no  more.  They  may  survive  for  a  time  beyond 
tii^  father  of  waters,  or  on  the  shores  of  the  Pacific — but  fate  seems 
to  have  decreed,  that  ultimately  the  whole  race  are  to  become  ex- 
tinct. 

The  French  wore  the  original  discoverers  and  settlers  of  the  West. 
As  early  as  the  latter  part  of  the  sixteenth  century,  while  the  Eng- 
lish Colonies  wore  yet  clinging  to  the  shores  of  the  Atlantic,  almost 
two  hundred  years  ago,  the.ir  voyages  and  expeditions  to  this  region 
commenced.  In  a  few  years  they  discovered,  and  to  some  extent, 
settled  the  whole  vast  region  from  Canada  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico, 
a  distance  of  more  than  3000  miles.  Their  undertaking- at  that  early 
dny,  was  one  of  no  little  difficulty  and  dnugcr.  If  was,  nevertheless, 
commenced  with  a  spirit,  :»nd  carried  on  wbh  a  degree  of  persever- 
ance and  sagacity,  unexampled  in  the  histgry  cf  adventure.  The 
limits  of  the  present  sketch  will  not  permit  us  to  give  the  details  of 
these  expeditions.  It  would  be.  unpardonable,  however,  to  pass 
over  in  silence  the  exploits  of  those  brave  and  self-devoted  men, 
through  whose  exertions  the  resources  and  capabilities  of  the  West 
were  first  made  known.  It  is  to  be  feared  that  they  have  failed  to 
receive,  at  the  hands  cf  posterity,  the  reward  to  which  their  achieve-

the  discoverers  of  other  portions  of  our  country,  we  have  failed  to 
pay  suitable  tribute  to  the  memory  of  these  first  pioneers  in  the 
region  we  inhabit — these  pilgrim  fathers  of  the  West.  If,  to  pene- 
trate thousands  of  miles  into  the  heart  of  a  continent,  bidding  adieu 
for  months  to  the  comforts  of  home,  braving  hunger  and  thirst,  and 
the  savage,  can  be  said  to  command  our  admiration  and  gratitude, 
then  these  m'en  have  distinguished  claims  upon  us  who  are  now 
reaping  the  fruits  of  all  their  toils  and  sufferings.  The  earliest  of 
these  expeditions,  as  well  as  the  most  distinguished,  were  those  of 
Marquette  and  La  Salle.  The  former  occurred  in  the  year  1673, 
and  resulted  in  the  discovery  of  the  Mississippi,  the  original  object 
and  design  of  the  expedition.  To  this  expedition,  is  probably  to  be 
ascribed  the  honor  of  paying  the  first  visit  to  Chicago,  it  being  the 
prevailing  opinion  that  it  passed  through  here  on  its  return  to 
Canada,  ascending  the  Illinois  River  and  crossing  to  Michigan. 
Perrot,  by  some  writers,  is  believed  to  have  been  here  a  few  years 
earlier.  The  story  of  Marquette,  who  voluntarily  remained  among 
the  Illinois  Indians,  and  found  at  last  a  solitary  grave  on  the  eastern 
shore  of  Michigan,  at  the  mouth  of  a  river  bearing  his  name,  is 
familiar  to  all. 

With  the  expedition  of  La  Salle,  in  1680,  Chicago  cannot  be  so 
clearly  identified.  This  expedition,  however,  was  productive  of 
more  important  consequences  to  the  West,  generally,  than  the  pre- 
ceding one.  The  Mississippi  was  navigated  to  its  mouth;  forts  at 
favorable  points,  erected;  the  shores  of  the  great  Lakes  thoroughly 
explored  ;  and  permanent  settlements,  at  several  points,  commenced. 
The  expeditions  which  succeeded  those  of  Marquette  and  La  S.illr, 
were  of  minor  importance,  being  principally  designed  to  sustain  the 
colonies  already  planted,  and  to  prosecute  the  traffic  which  had 
previously  been  entered  into  with  the  natives.  Although  no  posi- 
tive testimony  exists  on  the  subject,  it  is  highly  probable  that  Chi- 
cago was  frequently  visited  by  the  French,  during  their  passages  to 
and  from  the  West.  Having  once  been  here,  they  must  ever  after 
have  appreciated  the  advantages  of  the  situation,  both  in  a  com- 
mercial and  military  point  of  view.  Their  sagacity  in  these  matters 
seldom  failed  them.  In  their  magnificent  scheme  of  a  chain  of  mili- 
tary posts,  connecting  Canada  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  Chicago, 
doubtless,  formed  an  important  link,  being  at  the  head  of  the  Lakes, 
an.I  affording  so  many  f icilities  to  attain  the  interior. 

The  French  Colonies  in  the  West,  sustained  by  emigration,  con- 
tinued from  the  first  to  prosper  and  flourish.  Undcr-lhe  general 
name  of  Louisiana,  which  they' assumed  at  a  later  perio4,.ihcy  wore 
tnade  the  frequent  subject  of  grants  from  the  crown,  to  Individuate 
and  companies.  About  1717,  they  are  found  the  property  of  tho 
celebrated  Mississippi  Company,  which,  at  the  time,  gave  rise  to 
much  speculation  throughout  Europe.  'At  the  close  of  the  Frencli 
and  Indian  War,  Louisiana  was  transferred,  by  treaty,  to  the  Eng- 
lish. During  the  Revolution,  the  Territory  comprising  the  present 
State  of  Illinois,  become,  by  conquest,  the  property  of  Virginia,  by 
which  State  it  was  erected  into'a  County,  under  the  name  of  the 
County  of  Illinois. 

Virginia  ceded  it  to  the  General  Government  at  the  time  of  the 
cession  of  Western  lands,  by  the  Eastern  States.  In  1800,  the  pre- 
sent State  of  Illinois  became  a  part  of  Indiana  Territory,  having  a 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH.  9 

population  of  about  3000.  In  1309,  it  became  a  Territory  by  itself, 
with  a  population  of  12,282,  and  in  1318,  was  admitted  into  the 
Union. 

On  the  third  day  of  August,  1795,  at  the  treaty  held  by  General 
Wayne,  with  the  Pottawatamies  and  other  tribes  at  Greenville,  the 
title  to  six  miles  square  of  territory,  at  the  mouth  of  Chikajo  River, 
as  it  is  expressed  in  the  treaty,  was  obtained^  by  the  United  Stafes. 
From  the  language  of  this  treaty,  it  appears  that  a  fort  had  formerly 
stood  on  the  land  thus  ceded,  which  renders  it  pretty  certain,  that 
the  French,  who  alone  could  have  required  anything  of  the  sort, 
had  made  a  settlement  here,  many  years  before,  in  1804,  Fort 
Chicago  was  built  on  the  site  of  the  present  Fort.  About  the  same 
time,  the  American  Fur  Company,  having  been  organised  shortly 
before,  established  a  trading  station,  under  the  protection  of  the 
Garrison.  The  little  colony  thus  planted  here,  some  forty  years  ago, 
for  military  and  trading  purposes,  may-  be  regarded  as  the  first  at- 
tempt to  effect  a  permanent  settlement  of  Chicago.  The  regular  and 
monotonous  li£e  led  by  this  little  community,  for  the  first  eight  years, 
afforded  few  incidents  worthy  of  particular  notice.  In  1812,  how- 
ever, the  war  broke  out  with  England,  the  ^consequences  of  which 
were  peculiarly  disastrous  to  all  the  Western  settlements,  exposed 
as  they  were,  especially  those  in  Illinois,  to  the  hostility  of  neigh- 
boring tribes  of  Indians.  The  causes  which  conspired  to  render  the 
Indians  hostile  at  this  time,  are  generally  well  understood,  and  may 
be  traced  to  the  machinations  of  Tecumseh,  and  other  English  emis- 
saries, whos^  influence  extended  through  all  the  tribes,  being  felt  as 
far  as  the  remote  regions  of  Lake  Superior.  Chicago  being  then 
an  extreme  frontier  post  in  this  direction,  and  the  country  in  every 
direction  around  it,  full  of  Indians,  with  a  force  inadequate  to  its 
defence,  was  considered  so  much  endangered  as  to  require  its  evacu- 
ation. This  being  resolved  upon  at  Detroit,  Capt.  Heald,  the  officer 
in  command  here  at  the  time,  received  an  order  to  abandon  the  Fort, 
and  proceed  with  the  troops  to  Fort  Wayne.  This  evacuation,  on 
account  of  the  fatal  consequences  which  foflowed  it,  and  the  fact, 
that  some  of  our  present  citizens  were  themselves  here,  and  had 
friends  here  at  the  time,  has  always  been  regarded  with  interest,  ami 
may  be  considered  a  memorable  event  in  the  annals  of  Chicago. 
The  transaction  may,  therefore,  not  inappropriately  be  given  some^ 
what  in  detail,  in  this  connection.  Beside  the  Garrison,  there  were 
several  families  residing  here  at  the  time.  Mr.  John  Kinzie,  father 
of  John  H.  Kinzie,  Esq.,  present  Register  of  the  Land  Office  in  this 
City,  occupied  a  house  on  the  North  side  of  the  River,  a  little  East 
of  the  present  site  of  the  Lake  House.  The  evacuation  took  place 
on  the  15th  of  August,  six  days  after  the  reception  of  the  order  from 
Gen.  Hull,  and  the  day  before  the  disgraceful  surrender  of  Detroit, 
by  tryit  officer,  and  not  after,  as  some  writers  have  erroneous-ly  re- 
presented it.  In  the  mean  time,  a  larger  body  of  Indians,  mostly  of 
the  Potawatamie  nation,  had  assembled  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Fort. 
This  has  generally  been  represented  as  a  voluntary  movement  on  the 
part  of  the  Indians — but  the  most  correct  ^opinion  appears  to  be,  that 
Capt.  Heald  collected  them  himself,  requiring  of  them  an  escort  for 
the  troops,  and  promising  to  give  them  the  factory  stores,  a  conside- 
rable quantity  of  which,  were  on  hand  at  the  time.  Whether  this 
be  the  fact,  or  not,  some  understanding  of  the  kind  undoubtedly 


10  DESCRIPTION    AND 

existed  on  the  part  of  the  Indians,  and  the  non-fulfilment  of  the 
agreement,  by  Capt.  Heald,  according  to  their  expectations,  may 
have  occasioned  the  line  of  conduct  which  they  subsequently 
adopted,  which  proved  fatal  to  the  lives  of  55  of  the  party,  and  had 
well  nigh  brought  about  the  destruction  of  the  whole.  The 
stores  on  hand  were  composed  in  part  of  a  quantity  of  liquor,- and 
some  arms  and  amunition.  These  it  was  deemed  imprudent  to  give 
the  Indians — and  they  were  destroyed,  a  part  being  thrown  into  the 
River,  and  the  residue  deposited  in  a  well  within  the  Fort.  One  of 
the  arms  thus  disposed  of,  a  brass  piece,  was  found  a  few  years  since, 
by  some  people  employed  in  dredging  the  River — another,  it  is  said. 
remains  there  to  this  day.  The  stores  not  destroyed  were  distribu- 
ted to  the  Indians.  Under  these  circumstances,  about  nine  o'clock, 
on  the  morning  of  the  15th  of  August,  the  party,  composed  of  54 
regulars,  12  militia,  and  several  families,  amounting  in  all  to  about 
70  persons,  left  the  Fort,  under  the  escort  of  Capt.  Wells,  and  about 
30  Miami  Indians.  Their  route  lay  along  the  beach  of  the  Lak-e, 
between  the  waier  on  the  left,  and  a  succession  of  sand  hills  on  the 
right.  They  had  proceeded  about  a  mile  and  a  half  from  the  Fort, 
and  had  attained  a  point  a  short  distance  beyond  the  present  resi- 
dence of  Mr.  II.  B.  Clarke,  and  were  advancing,  unconscious  of  dan- 
ger, when  Capt.  Wells,  who  it  appears,  had  strayed  for  some  pur- 
pose, some  distance  from-  the  mam  body,  discovered  the  Indians  in 
ambush  behind  the  sand  hills.  At  the  same  time,  another  party 
was  seen  interposing  in  the  rear,  between  them  and  the  Fort,  which 
they  had  just  left.  The  'alarm  was  immediately  given — the  dead 
march  struck  up,  and  the  troops  marched  directly  up  the  bank,  upon 
the  Indians.  The  action  did  not  commence,  as  has  generally  been 
represented,  by  firing,  on  the  part  of  the  Indians.  After  firing  one 
round,  the  troops  charged,  and  succeeded  in  dispersing  the  Indians 
in  front.  But  the  disparity  of  numbers  was  too  great.  The  most 
determined  bravery  was  displayed  by  the  troops,  but  it  could  avail 
little  against  the  superior  force  opposed  to  them,  protected  by  the 
sand  hills  behind  which  it  had  entrenched  itself.  In  15  minutes, 
nearly  the  whole  party  were  killed  or  wounded,  and  all  the  baggage 
in  the  possession  of  the  enemy.  Capt.  Heald  drew  off  his  men,  into 
the  open  prairie,  and  took  possession  of  a  slight  elevation,  out  of 
reach  of  the  bank,  and  every  other  cover.  The  Indians,  after  some 
consukation,  made  signs  for  Capt.  Heald  to  approach  them.  He 
was  met  by  a  Potawatamie  Chief,  called  Blackbird,  who  requested 
him  to  surrender,  promising  to  spare  the  lives  of  the  whole  party, 
in  case  of  compliance.  After  some  parley,  the  terms  were  agreed 
to,  and  the  arms  delivered  up.  The  survivors  were  marched  back 
to  the  Indian  encampment,  near  the  Fort,  about  the  spot  where 
State  Street  now  opens  to'the  River,  and  where  the  present  Market 
is  located.  Here,  some  of  the  prisoners,  those  who  had  been 
wounded,  were  murdered  in  the  most  shocking  manner,  by  the 
squaws,  who  appeared  to  take  great  delieht  in  exercising  their  knives 
and  besmearing  them  in  the  blood  of  their  unfortunate  victims. 
The  small  number  surviving,  were  distributed,  according  to  the  cus- 
tom of  the  savages,  among  the  different  members  of  the  tribe.  Mr. 
Kinzie.  Sen.,  however,  whose  family,  from  the  first,  had  been  pro- 
tected by  some  friendly  chiefs,  although  he  was  himself  engaged  in 
the  action,  with  the  troops — succeeded  in  procuring  the  release  of 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH.  11 

Capt.  Heald  and  lady,  who  were  sent  by  him  to  St.  Joseph,  and 
thence  to  Mackinaw,  whence  they  made  (heir  escape.  The  remain- 
der of  the  prisoners  were  retained,  but,  it  is  said,  were  treated  with 
great  kindness,  and  most  of  them  surrendered  to  the  British,  at 
Detroit,  in  the  following  spring.  The  day  following  the  action, 
the  Indians  burnt  down  the  Fort,  and  dispersed.  Such  are  the 
leading  particulars  of  this  unfortunate  action,  collected,  principally, 
from  an  eye-wiiness  of  the  whole.  Capt.  Heald  has  been  subjected 
totrauch  blame,  a  portion  of  which  was  undoubtedly  merited.  His 
management  of  the  Indians  was  injudicious  throughout,  and  the 
destruction  of  the  stores,  to  say  the  least,  imprudent.  The  evacua- 
tion, under  existing  circumstances,  was  remonstrated  against,  by  Mr. 
Kinzie  and  Capt.  Wells,  both  of  whom,  from  long  intercourse  with 
the  Indians,  had  become  familiar  with  their  character,  and  were 
enabled  to  anticipate  and  foretell  the  result  which  ensued.  Capt. 
Wells  had  been  bred  an  Indian  warrior,  and  was  a  brave  and  skilful 
soldier.  He  unfortunately  fell  early  in  the  action,  and  was  found 
with  his  face  blackened,  after  the  manner  of  the  Savages,  when  they 
meet  with  disappointment. 

The  Fort  was  rebuilt  in  1617,  when  it  took  the  name  of  Fort 
Dearborn.  It  was  occupied,  except  at  short  intervals,  by  a  Gar- 
rison, until  1837,  when,  the  Indians  having  generally  left  the  coun- 
try, it  was  finally  evacuated,  and  has  never  eince  been  re-occupied 
as  a  military  post.  It  remains  in  much  the  same  condiiion  as  in 
'37,  except  the  pallisades,  which  were  removed,  the  past  spring,  and 
their  place  supplied  by  a  handsome  fence.  It  has  since  been  occu- 
pied by  officers  and  agents  in  charge  of  the  public  works,  and  their 
families.  Fort  Dearborn  being  almost  the  only  memento  of  the 
p;ist,  in  the  midst  of  so  many  creations  of  the  day — the  necessity  of 
any  alteration  in  its  appearance  is  to  be  regretted. 

Until  1832,  and  even  so  late  as  1833,  little  or  nothing  was  done 
towards  making  a  commencement  .of  the  City — it  probably  not  en- 
tering into  the  imagination  of  any  one,  previous  to  that  time,  that  a 
town  of  any  importance  was  to  be  here  at  all,  at  least,  not  for  many 
years.  In  1832,  its  appearance  and  condition  was  much  the  same 
as  in  1823.  when  Major  Long,  who  visited  the  place  that  year,  de- 
scribes it  "  as  presenting  no  cheering  prospects,  and  containing  but 
few  huts,  inhabited  by  a  miserable  race  of  men,  scarcely  equal  to 
the  Indians,  from  whom  they  were  descended — and  their  log  or  bark 
houses  as  low,  filthy,  and  disgusting,  displaying  not  the  least  trace 
of  comfort,  and  as  a  phice  of  business,  affording  no  inducements  to 
the  settler — the  whole  amount  of  trade  on  the  Lake,  not  exceeding 
the  cargos  of  five  or  six  schooners,  even  at  the  time  when  the  Gar- 
rison received  its  supplies  from  Mackinaw."  This  picture,  though 
perhaps  too  highly  colored,  presents,  in  the  main,  a  correct  view  of 
Chicago,  in  1832,  In  1830,  there  had  been  a  sale  of  Canal  lots,  the 
best  bringing  only  fifty  or  one  hundred  dollars,  many  of  which  have 
since  become  the  most  valuable  in  the  City.  Up  to  about  that  time, 
the  present  most  business,  and  densely  populated  part  of  the  City, 
was  fenced,  and  used  by  the  Garrison,  for  some  purpose  of  hus- 
bandry, or  pasturage.  So  late  as  '35  or  '6,  the  fires  usual  on  the 
prairies  in  trie  fall,  overran  the  third  and  fourth  wards.  There  were 
only  some  five  or  six  houses,  built  mostly  of  logs,  and  a  population 
of  less  than  one  hundred. 


12  DESCRIPTION    AND 

One  of  the^e  houses,  formerly  the  property  of  the  Fur  Company, 
was,  until  a  short  time  past,  occupied  by  Col.  Beaubien.  About  80 
rods  to  the  south  of  that,  stood  a  house,  once  occupied  by  Colonel 
Owings,  but  since  washed  away  by  the  Lake.  A  house,  known  as 
"  Cobweb  Castle,"  on  block  No.  1,  was  formerly  the  abode  of  Dr. 
Alexander  Wolcott. 

The  dwelling  of  Mr.  John  Kinzie  stood  East^f  the  Lake  House. 
A  log  building  at  the  corner  of  Dearborn  and  South  Water  Streets, 
and  the  once  celebrated  tavern  of  Mr.  Mark  Beaubien,  on  the  site 
of  the  Sauganash.  generally  known  as  the  Eagle,  together  with  a 
building  on  block  14,  and  a  cabin,  occupied  by  Robinson,  the  In- 
dian Chief  at  Wolf  Point,  constituted  all  the  buildings,  except  the 
Fort,  to  be  found  here  in  1832.  Sometime  this  year,  however, 
Robert  A.  Kinzie  built  a  store  at  Wolf  Point,  the  first  frame  build- 
ing in  Chicago.  la  1834,  several  brick  buildings  were  erected. 

The  commerce  of  the  place,  up  to  this  period,  was  equally  insig- 
nificant. In  fact,  there  wns  none,  unless  the  traffic  of  the  Fur  Com- 
pany, can  be  dignified  with  that  name.  Vessels  occasionally  ven- 
tured here,  but  so  seldom,  that  the  arrival  of  a  schooner  was  an 
event  of  no  little  moment,  and  created  n  sensation  throughout  the 
community.  The  year  1832,  may  then  be  regarded  as  the  period 
from  which  to  date  the  commencement  of  the  City.  Many  causes, 
the  Indian  war  among  them,  conspired,  about  this  time,  to  bring 
Chicago  into  general  notice.  What  was  called  the  "  Western 
Fever,"  had  begun  ro  rage  generally,  throughout  the  country.  . 
Thousands  were  flocking  from  the  East,  to  seek  homes  in  the  West. 
The  first  premonitions  of  the  speculating  mania,  had  manifested 
themselves.  Eligible  sites  for*towns  and  cities,  were  sought  out, 
and  eagerly  appropriated.  The  superior  advantages  of  Chicago,  in 
this  period  of  general  enquiry,  when  enterprise  was  universally 
aroused,  and  incited  by  the  hope  of  sudden  wealth,  could  not  long 
escape  public  attention. 

The  attention  of  Congress  had  been  called  to  the  importance  and 
necessity  of  a  harbor,  and  an  appropriation  was  confidently  relied 
upon  at  the  next  session.  Gen.  Scott,  who  explored  the  country 
during  the  Indian  war,  took  n  lively  interest  in  this  work,  and  ad- 
dressed a  letter  in  relation  to  it,  which  was  subsequently  Inid  be- 
fore Congress.  The  construction  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan 
Canal,  had  also  been  finally  resolved  upon  by  the  State  legislature. 
Active  measures  were  being  talfen  to  survey  the  different  routes, 
and  to  estimate  the  cost  of  the  various  plans  proposed.  Hence  the 
commencement,  and  completion  of  this  important  work  at  no  distant 
day,  might  confidently  be  relied  upon.  The  resources  of  the  State, 
too,  were  beginning  to  be  more  generally  known,  and  better  ap- 
preciated. The  most  alluring  reports  of  the  character  of  the  soil 
— its  productiveness — the  facilities  for  making  farms  on  our  prairies 
—together  with  the  salubrity  of  the  climate,  were  circulated  far  and 
wide.  The  most  strenuous  exertions  were  made,  and  with  the  most 
signal  success,  to  promote  emigration.  Enterprise,  stimulated  by 
interest,  and  the  hope  of  gain,  was  aroused,  calling  forth  and  cou- 
centrating  upon  this  one  object,  all  the  resources  and  capabilities  of 
the  age.  Capital  was  enlisted,  and  credit  and  unlimited  confidence 
invoked  to  its  aid.  Money,  owing  to  excessive  bank,  and  even  pri- 
vate issues,  was  abundant,  and  loans  to  any  amount  were  effected

with  the  greatest  ease.  The  West  suddenly  became  the  centre  of 
men's  thoughts  and  wishes,  and  Chicago,  as  the  most  important 
point  in  the  West,  the  goal  to  which  all  directed  their  aspirtions. 

Such  are  some  of  the  prominent  causes  which  may  be  said,  at 
the  period  referred  to,  to  have  given  the  first  impulse  to  the  City. 
That  it  grew  and  prospered  as  it  did,  tinder  their  operation,  will 
excite  no  surprise — the  result  could  not  well  have  been  otherwise. 
Ils  progress,  accordingly,  until  about  '37  has  no  parallel — it  was 
rapid  in  the  extreme.  Buildings  went  up  as  if  by  magic — stores 
were  openexJ  by  the  hundred,  and  speedily  filled  with  merchandize; 
people  of  every  calling  and'pursuit  in  life,  laborers,  mechanics,  and 
professional  men,  influenced  by  a  common  purpose — the  hope  of 
success  in  their  several  spheres  of  action — came  together  here,  and 
entered  at  once  with  a  zeal  and  activity  into  the  schemes  of  improve- 
ment projected..  The  sale  of  Canal  lots  in  1830  has  been  already 
mentioned.  In  1833,  a  great  Indian  payment  was  held  here,  near 
the  present  site  of  the  Lake  House.  In  the  latter  part  of  this  year, 
the  work  on  the  harbor  was  commenced — and  during  the  same  year, 
the  present  Light-house  was  erected,  the  old  one  having  fallen 
down.  In  1835,  the  population  of  the  place  was  said  to  amount  to 
5,500,  a  computation  which  probably  included  transitory  persons,  a 
great  many  of  whom  were  here  at  the  time.  The  actual  popula- 
tion, however,  that  year,  could  not  have  been  much  less  than  3000. 
In  1836,  another  sale  of  Canal  lots  took  place,  which  was  attended 
with  much  excitement,  and  occasioned  a  large  collection  of  people 
from  distant  quarters.  The  prices  were  extravagantly  high.  In 
1836,  a  branch  of  the  State  Bank  was  located  here.  On  the  4th  of 
July,  1831,  the  ceremony  of  breaking  the  first  ground  on  the  Canal, 
took  place  at  Canal  Port,  in  presence  of  a  large  concourse  of  spec- 
tators. During  the  winter  of '36-7,  the  act  to  incorporate  the  City, 
passed  the  State  Legislature;  and  in  April  succeeding,  the  first  elec- 
tion under  the  Charter  was  held,  which  resulted  in  the  choice  of 
W.  B.  OOUEJV  to  the  office  of  Mayor.  The  growth  cf  commerce, 
thus  far,  kept  pace  with  everything  else.  The  community  were 
dependent,  during  the  first  few  years,  entirely  upon  supplies  from 
abroad;  this,  together  with  the  great  influx  of  emigration,  and  the 
travel  which  began  to  set  in  this  direction,  gave  employment  to  a 
considerable  amount  of  shipping,  and  Steamboats  and  Schooners 
began  to  ply  regularly  between  this  port  and  Buffalo. 

During  this  brief  but  exciting  period,  the  community  fortunately 
found  time  to  devote  some  attention  to  things  of  greater  importance 
than  the  accumulation  of  this  world's  goods.  Before  or  during 
1836,  as  many  as  six  Churches  had  been  organized,  and  suitable 
buildings  provided  for  their  accommodation.  These  Churches, 
together  with  such  as  have  since  been  established,  have  always 
received  a  liberal  support,  and  are  now  in  a  flourishing  condition. 
Neither  was  the  subject  of  education  wholly  neglected.  The  school 
section,  which  fortunately  lay  contiguous  to  the  Cily,  and  was  pro- 
portionably  valuable,  was  disposed  of  in  1834,  and  the  avails  applied 
to  the  support  of  Common  Schools.  Means  for  the  diffusion  of 
general  intelligence  were  also  provided. 

In  1834,  John  Calhoun  commenced  the  publication  of  the  Chi- 
cago Democrat;    and:in  the  following  year,  Thos.  O.  Davis  esta- 
blished the  Chicago  American,  both  of  which  papers  still  exist ;  the

latter  under  the  name  of  the  Chicago  Express,  being  published 
daily.  These  papers,  together  with  the  Prairie  Farmer,  Agricultu- 
ral; the  Western  Citizen,  Abolition ;  the  North-Western  Baptist, 
Baptist;  and  the  Better  Covenant,  Universalist,  which  liave  since 
been  started, 'are  ably  conducted,  and  have  an  extensive  circulation. 

The  year  1837,  is  especially  memorable  in  the  annals  of  Chicago, 
as  the  period  of  protested  notes.  It  was  during  this  year,  ihat  the 
consequences  of  speculation,  which  had  hitherto  operated  most 
favorably  for  the  West,  were  experienced  to  a  most  ruinous  extent. 
Chicago  was  intimately  connected  \viih  speculation,  through  all 
its  progress.  It  was  in  its  incipient  stages,  at  the  period  of  the  com- 
mencement of  the  City  ;  but  a  disposition  and  tendency  to  it  was 
apparent  even  then.  It  raged  with  gre.it  violence  during  '35-6, 
and  a  portion  of  '37,  at  which  time  it  gave  color  and  direction  to 
most  business  transactions. 

The  history  of  this  singular  delusion  is  replete  \viih  instructive 
incidents.  It  seems  unaccountable  to  the  more  sober  judgment  of 
these  limes,  how  men,  under  any  circumstances,  could  have  been 
led  so  far  astray — how  prudence,  foresight,  and  sagacity  could,  to 
such  an  extent,  have  lost  their  dominion  and  control  over  the  human 
mind.  But  so  it  was.  The  rapid  and  unprecedented  rise  in  the 
value  of  real  estate,  and  the  certainty  of  that  rise,  exerted  a  most 
seductive  influence;  very  few  were  found  able  to  resist  the  tempta- 
tion; all  classes  of  people  ultimately  abandoning  the  usual  avoca- 
tions of  society,  devoted  themselves  exclusively  to  speculation,  and 
hazarded  their  all  upon  this  sea  of  chance.  This  wild  spirit  found 
its  way  ultimately  into  the  halls  of  legislation,  and  controlled  the 
conduct  and  policy  of  states,  as  it  had  done  that  of  individuals. 
It  was  under  the  influence  of  this  spirit  that  those  stupendous 
schemes  of  internal  improvement  originated  in  many  of  t!,e  new 
states,  which  have  entailed  upon  subsequent  times  the  evils  of  debt 
— taxation — and  in  some  cases,  national  disgrace  and  dishonor. — 
Speculation  led,  in  short,  to  the  perpetration,  on  all  haiu?s,  of  acts 
of  folly  and  absurdity,  seldom  before  heard  of.  The  sources  of 
wealth  being  regarded  as  inexhaustible,  naturally  created  extrava- 
gant ideas  of  prosperity,  and  afforded  to  all  the  apparent  means  of 
indulging  in  every  species  of  expenditure.  It  would  be  useless  to 
follow  speculation  through  its  stages,  as  one  act  of  absurdity  suc- 
ceeded another  in  rapid  succession. — Are  not  these  times  and  their 
consequences  written  in  efiaceless  characters  upon  the  meuiory  of 
every  reader  ? 

But  the  day  of  wnfh  nnd  retribution  was  at  hand.  Confidence 
and  credit,  too  long  abused,  refused  any  longer  to  lend  their  aid.  The 
unfortunate  victims  of  the  delusion  were  suddenly  awakened  from 
their  dream  of  wealth  to  the  certainty  of  -almost  universal  bank- 
ruptcy and  ruin.  Thousands  suddenly  called  upon  to  investigate 
the  condition  of  their  affairs,  which,  in  the  excitement  of  the  mo- 
ment, no  one  thought  it  necessary  to  attend  to,  found  themselves 
involved  to  the  extent  of  thousands  and  hundredsfof-thousands  of 
dollars,  and  their  real  estate,  from  which  --done  the  means  of  pay- 
ment could  come,  depreciated  in  value,  in,  fact  unsaleable  at  any 
price.  Thousands,  from  affluence,  were  reduced — without  warning 
or  preparation — to  poverty;  some  struggled  fora  time  with  their 
destiny,  but  the  evil  day  came  at  last  ;  and  scarcely  one,  ultimately, 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH.  15 

survived  the  catastrophe.  The  comparatively  small  number  of 
those  who  did  finally  escape  the  ordeal,  it  has  been  observed  were 
indebted  more  to  chance  and  good  luck  than  to  any  unusual  endow- 
ment of  prudence  and  sagacity.  The  ablest  business  men  of  the 
age — those  in  whose  judgment  and  capacity  in  ordinary  times  we 
should  unhesitatingly  repose  the  most  implicit  confidence,  ventured 
as  far  and  hazarded  as  much  as  any  in  this  dangerous  game. 

To  Chicago,  iu  an  especial  degree,  was  the  stroke  which  was  thus 
inflicted  upon  the  business  interests  of  the  country  injurious  and 
calamitous.  It  was  to  her  a  season  of  mourning  and  desolation. 
Many  of  her  most  business  and  enterprising  citizens  were  insolvent — 
all,  to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  embarrassed  in  their  circumstances. 
She  had  gone  on  hitherto  in  a  state  of  uninterrupted  prosperity — no- 
thins  had  thus  far  occurred  to  check  the  progress  of  improvement. 
Could  that  state  of  prosperity  have  continued,  Chicago  would,  by  this 
time,  have  ranked  among  the  proudest  cities  of  the  land.  But  ca- 
lamity came  suddenly  and  unexpectedly  ;  and,  for  a  time,  she 
quailed  under  its  effects. 

But  she  was  not,  and  could  not  be  entirely  prostrated.  Her 
position  was  too  favorable,  and  her  redeeming  powers  too  abundant 
to  permit  her  very  long  to  be  seriously  affected  by  any  calamity, 
however  great.  She  had,  in  common  with  the  west,  gained  much 
by  speculation.  What  had  been  accomplished  could  not  be  un- 
done. Her  works  of  improvement  survived — her  imputation  was 
left  to  her,  and  more  than  all  her  great  and  inexhaustible  natural  re- 
sources remained  to  bear  her  on  to  the  consummation  of  her  high 
destiny.  Her  citizens  returned  to  their  habits  of  industry  and  eco- 
nomy, from  which  the  force  of  evil  example  had  seduced  them. 
Her  business  men,  taught  a  severe  lesson  by  the  past,  bent  all  their 
energies,  and  called  into  requisition  all  their  experience  to  build  up 
their  injured  credit,  and  to  restore  their  business  to  a  safe  and  per- 
manent foundation.  The  consequences  began  gradually  to  develop 
themselves.  But  little  was  gained  during  '38-9;  but  in  '40,  things 
assumed  a  more  favorable  aspect,  and  since  that  time  the  increase 
of  business  and.  population  has  been  most  rapid.  This  will  be 
more  fully  illustrated  by  a  reference  to  the  census  of  different  peri- 
ods, and  to  the  tabular  statements  of  the  amount,  value  and  charac- 
ter of  the  export  and  import  trade  of  the  place  during  each  year, 
contained  in  another  part  of  this  volume. 

It  is  with  feelings  of  pride  and  satisfaction  that  the  friends  of 
Chicago  can  refer  to  the  experience  of  the  past  six  years,  as  furnish- 
ing an  enduring  monument  to  the  industry,  enterprise  and  persever- 
ance of  her  people,  and  as  establishing,  beyond  controversy,  the  ex- 
istence and  permanency  of  her  sources  of  prosperity.  If,  with  an 
impoverished  community,  at  a  period  of  general  prostration  of  the 
business  interests  of  the  country,  under  the  pressure  of  heavy  mu- 
nicipal and  enormous  State  liabilities,  with  resources  comparatively 
undeveloped,  and  the  works  of  public  improvement  unfinished. 
Chicago  has  accomplished  so  much,  what  may  not  reasonably  be 
expected  when  these  and  all  obstacles  are  removed  from  her  way? 

A  glance  at  her  geographical  position  will  convince  the  most 
sceptical  that  Chicago  is  but  the  nucleus  about  which  is  destined  to 
grow  up,  at  no  remote  period,  one  of  the  most  important  commer- 
cial towns  in  the  West.  Situated  on  the  waters  of  the  only  great 


16  DESCRIPTION    AND 

Lake  exclusively  within  the  United  States — being  the  termina- 
tion, on  the  one  hand,  of  the  navigation  of  the  Lakes,  and  on  the 
other,  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal — affording  great  natu- 
ral facilities  for  a  harbor,  by  means  of  Chicago  River  and  its  branches 
— the  excelling  site  for  a  capacious  ship  basin  in  the  very  heart  of 
the  town,  at  the  junction  of  said  branches — having  dependent  upon 
it  a  region  of  country  vast  in  extent,  and  of  extraordinary  fertility, 
it  must  always  be  the  dividing  point  between  two. grear  sections  of 
the  Union,  where  the  productions  of  each  must  meet  and  pay  tri- 
bute. It  is  susceptible  of  the  easiest  demonstration  that  the  route 
by  the  Lakes,  the  Canal  and  the  Western  Rivers,  when  once  the 
channels  of  communication  are  completed,  will,  for  cheapness, 
safety  and  expedition,  possess  advantages  superior  to  every  other. 
Among  the  advantages  of  this  route,  the  climate,  so  favorably  adapted 
to  the  preservation  of  produce,  deserves  especiaj  notice. 

The  commercial  interests,  then,  of  the  vast,  and  especially  of  the 
great  valley  of  the  West,  will  be  intirr  3ly,  connected  with  Chica- 
go, as  a  place  of  transhipment  and  deposit — and  the  value  and 
amount  of  the  trade  in  produce,  in  lumber,  salt,  and  in  every  des- 
cription of  merchandize  which  will  centre  here,  is  beyond  our  pre- 
sent powers  of  computation,  and  tan  only  be  measured  by  the  future 
wants  and  capabilities  of  the  country. 

Those  important  works — the  harbor  and  canal — upon  which  so 
many  interests  depend,  justly  demand  the  most  serious  conside- 
ration; and  it  is  highly  gratifying  to  allude  to  their  present  most 
flattering  prospects.  It  is  now  reduced  almost  to  a  certainty,  that 
Chicago,  after  the  expenditure  of  so  much  solicitude,  and  a  large 
amount  of  money,  is  speedily  to  be  furnished  with  a  Safe,  commodi- 
ous and  permanent  harbor.  Under  the  supervision  of  our  present 
able  superintendent,  the  work  is  prosecuted  with  a  degree  of  vigor 
that  must  be  crowned  with  success. 

<%  The  principal  difficulty  encountered  during  the  progress  of  the 
harbor  has  been  occasioned  by  the  deposition  of  sand  and  the  for- 
mation of  bars  at  its  mouth.  The  plans  heretofore  adopted  to  sur- 
mount this  difficulty  have  failed  upon  trial,  and  are  now  abandoned. 
Two  plans  have  been  proposed  the  present  season,  which  have  at- 
tracted considerable  attention.  One  of  these,  suggested  by  Captain 
McLellan,  the  present  superintendent,  recommends  the  construc- 
tion of  a  pier  north  of  the  present  ones,  at  a  distance  from  them 
greater  than  the  length  of  the  present  bar,  and  is  based  upon  the 
supposition  that  the  sand  would  form  a  bar  around  its  head,  and  not 
reach  the  entrance  of  the  harbor.  The  other  plan,  which  has  been 
adopted,  and  is  now  being  carried  into  effect,  proposes  the  extension 
of  the  north  pier,  in  the  form  of  a  circle,  a  distance  of  990  feet, 
which  will  bring  it  into  the  line  of  the  original  direction  of  that  pier. 
A  good  channel  for  vessels  of  every  class  will  then  exist  from  the 
head  of  the  south  pier,  around  the  bar,  that  pier  being  extended  no 
farther  into  the  Lake.  If  this  plan  succeed,  Chicago  will  be  fur- 
nished with  a  harbor,  not  inferior  to  any  on  the  Lakes. 
41  We  have  the  most  flattering  assurance  that  the  work  upon  our 
other  and  not  less  important  branch  of  public  improvement — the  Illi- 
Dois  and  Michigan  Canal — will  be  resumed  the  coming  season,  un- 
der the  operation  of  the  late  law  of  the  Legj«lature.  The  history 
of  this  great  workt  which  was  contemplated  from  the  first  settle- 


HISTORICAL    SKETCH.  17 

ment  of  the  State,  and  has  been  the  subject  of  legislation  for  more 
than  twenty  years,  presents  a  remarkable  instance  of  the  obstacles 
which  frequently  oppose  the  accomplishment  of  the  greatest  under- 
takings. The  first  survey  of  the  canal  was  made  in  1823.  In  1825 
a  bill  was  passed  to  incorporate  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal 
Company;  but  no  stock  being  taken  under  the  charter,  it  was  re- 
pealed at  the  next  special  session.  In  1827,  act  of  March  2,  Con- 
gress appropriated  each  alternate  section  of  land  within  five  miles 
of  the  prepared  line.  In  1829,  a  board  of  commissioners  was  orga- 
nized, with  power  to  determine  upon  the  route,  and  to  discharge 
other  duties  connected  with  the  work.  Chicago,  Ottawa,  and  other 
towns  on  the  line  were  laid  out  by  the  board,  and  sales  of  lots 
effected.  The  work  was  commenced  in  the  year  1836,  and  was  sus- 
pended in  1842.  The  law  under  which  this  work  was  contracted, 
provides  that  ihe  canal  shall  be  GO  feet  wide  at  the  surface,  40  feet 
at  the  base,  and  six  feet  deep;  that  it  shall  commence  at  Chicago, 
on  canal  land,  and  terminate  at  the  mouth  of  the  Little  Vermillioa 
River,  making  a  distance  of  95-i  miles.  If  was  to  be  constructed 
upon  the  deep  cut  principle,  and  to  be  fed  from  the  waters  of  Lake 
Michigan.  By  a  recent  survey,  a  method  has  been  discovered  by 
which  it  is  believed  that  a  sufficient  supply  of  water  can  be  pro- 
cured from  Fox  River  for  a  canal  upon  the  shallow  cut  plan.  The 
sum  of  about  $5,000,000  has  thus  far  been  expended  upon  the 
work.  To  complete  it  upon  the  plan  contemplated  by  the  late  law, 
about  Si, 600, 000  more  has  been  estimated  to  be  necessary.  If  that 
law  goes  into  effect,  as  present  appearances  se'em  clearly  to  indicate, 
the  canal  will  be  finished  in  about  three  years.  We  shall  then  have 
the  greatest  continuity  of  inland  water  communication  in-  the 
world — eMendjng  from  the  Atlantic  Ocean  by  the  Erie  Canal,  along 
the  chain  of  Lakes,  through  our  canal,  the  Illinois  and  Mississippi 
Rivers,  to  th.vGulf  of  Mexico.  This  will  be  a  glorious  consumma- 
tion for  Illinois,  a. id  for  every  interest  connected  with  her.  The 
vast  resources  connected  with  the  canal  itself,  the  resources  which 
Mt  will  develope  throughout  the  State,  will  enable  her  in  a  short 
time  to  discharge  all  her  debts-*-  to  establish  her  credit — and  to  re- 
deem her  reputation.  Already  h;«s  the  prospect  of  the  completion 
of  this  work  effected  a  revolution  in  public  sentiment,  and  has 
caused  emigration  to  set  strongly  in  this  direction.  The  reports 
which  have  been  circulated  in  regnrd  to  the  circumstances  and  pros- 
pects of  the  State  have  been  discovered,  upon  examination,  to  be 
founded  in  falsehood  and  misrepresentation.  The  public  are  now  sa- 
tisfied that  the  climate  is  as  healthy  and  salubrious  as  any  portion  of 
the  West — that  the  soil  is  infinitely  superior — that  our  taxes,  even  un- 
der the  effect  of  that  severe  ordeal  through  which  we  have  passed, 
uniformly  have  been  less  than  any  of  the  adjoining  States  and  Ter- 
ritories—and that  the  prospects  of  the  value  of  real  estate,  the  high 
price  of  produce,  and  the  facilities  of  a  convenient  market,  will  ren- 
der it  the  most  desirable  State  in  the  Union.  We  may  trust  that 
the  day  is  not  far  distant  when  Illinois  will  assume  her  proper  posi- 
tion among  the  States  of  the  Union — when  her  friends  will  be  en- 
abled to  hurl  back  the  imputations  which  have  been  cast  upon  her 
character — whon  she  can  no  longer,  with  a  shadow  of  truth  or  justice, 
be  stigmatized  as  the  land  of  speculators  and  repudiation!  Until 
then,  she  must  calmly  bide  her  time,

DESCRIPTION    AtfD 


In  conclusion  of  our  subject,  it  may  be  proper  to  refer  more  pnf« 
ticularly  to  some  important  considerations  and  facts  connected  with 
the  present  condition  of  Chicago,  hitherto  only  incidentally  alluded 
to. 

The  city,  for  some  time  past,  has  been  considerably  embarrassed 
with   debt,   in  consequence  of  the  necessity  which  has  existed  of 
borrowing  money  to  carry  on  its  works  of  improvement.     The  ex- 
isting   liabilities   of  the   city  amount   to   $6977.55,  vi/..  :  bonds   to 
Strachan  &  Scott,  $5000;    bonds  for  Clark  Street  Bridge,   83000; 
bonds  for  barrier  to  the  Lake,  and  interest,  8977.55.     The  increas- 
ing revenues  derived  from  taxation  and  other  sources  .will  soon  afford 
the  means  to  extinguish  these  liabilities  entirely.     The  lax  of  the 
present   year,  at  the  rate  of  assessment  of  this  year,  amounts  to 
$7852.45;  the  school  tax,  at  half  a  mill  per  co.nt..  to  $685.24.     A 
large   amount  of  city  property,  which  hereiofore  has  been  unpro- 
ductive,, will,  the  next  year,  become  taxable,  particularly  the  canal 
lands  and  the  reservation.     The  amount  of  the  tax  for  the  coming 
year,  unless  a  reduction  should  take  place,  may  safely  be  estimated 
at    $12,000.     In    addition  to   this,   there  is  now  in   the    treasury, 
unappropriated,    $1854,    and    the    current    expenses,  paid.     The 
management    of    the    fiscal    affairs   of    the    city,    by    our    present 
common  council,  is  entitled    to   the    highest    praise.     The    finan- 
cial   ability    of  the    mayor  has    been   recently   tested    in    the    ma- 
nagement of  a  negotiation  at  New  York,  by  which  a  reduction  of 
three   per  cent,  has  been   effected  upon  the  interest  of  the  largest 
debt  of  the  city,  and  may  be  regarded  as  equivalent  to  a  new  loan*. 
The  credit  of  the  city  is  tiow  established  upon  a  permanent  foundation, 
and  cannot  be  easily  shaken.    City  scrip  for  some  time  has  been  at  par. 
1  Our  common  schools  are  worthy  of  especial  notice.     They  are 
sustained  in  part  by  the  school  fund,  and  in  part  by  taxation.     The 
fund  originally  amounted  to  about  839,000  ;  but  nearly  one  ha-Jf  of 
this  amount  has  been  lost  by  injudicious  loans.     These  schools  are 
justly  the  pride  of  the  city,  and  the  interest  which  is  manifested 
in  them  is  an  evidence  of  the  importance  which  the  community  at- 
taches to  education.     We  have  also  a  medical  college  chartered  by 
the  Legislature  in  1837,  and  several  schools  sustained  by  private 
munificence.     Independent  of  these,  we  have  several  other  institu- 
tions,  which   are   exerting  a  beneficial   influence.     Among   them, 
the  Mechanics'  Institute   and   the  Young    Men's    Association  are,- 
prominent  in  importance.     These  institutions,  while  sustained   as 
they  have  been   hitherto,  will  be  both  useful  and  ornamental  to  the 
city.     Both  of  them  have   libraries,  containing,  in  the  aggregate, 
about  2500  volumes.     The  Mechanics'  Institute  has  a  department 
in  the  Prairie  Farmer,  devoted  exclusively  to  the  interests  of  the 
mechanical   arts — the  Young   Men's  Association  a  reading  room, 
where  most  of  the  publications  of  the  day  are  regularly  received, 
and  accessible  to  the  public.  There  is,  in  addition  to  these  libraries, 
a  circulating  library,  containing   about  1500  volumes.     AVc  have 
other  societies  designed  to  meet  the  intellectual  wants  of  the  com- 
munity, among  which  may  be  mentioned  the  Chicago  Lyceum1 — 
the  oldest  literary  society  in  the  place.     Our  theaire — a  very  pretty 
one — has  been  in  operation  the  past  season,  and  met  with  some 
encouragement ;  but  it  must  be  confessed  that,  at  present,  the  pros- 
pects of  the  drama  are  not  flattering.

Under  favorable  auspices.  In  illustration  of  the  condition  of  this 
department  of  trade,  we  may  allude  to  the  third  volume  of  Mr. 
SCAMMON'S  REPORTS  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT,  printed  by 
Messrs.  ELLIS  &  FERGUS,  and  now  about  ready  for  publication. 
The  fact  that  the  execution  of  this  volume  is  equal,  if  not  superior 
to  the  two  former  ones,  which  were  issued  from  two  of  the  best 
.presses  of  the  East,  is  highly  creditable  to  our  city,  and  must  be 
gratifying  to  the  profession  generally. 

In  facilities  for  the  accommodation  of  the  travelling  public,  Chi-, 
cago  has  made  great  progress.  In  early  times  our  inns  were  mise- 
rable in  the  extreme.  Now  we  have  eighteen  hotels  and  houses  of 
public  entertainment,  some  of  them  large  and  splendid  establish- 
ments, not  inferior  to  any  in  the  West.  The  great  amount  of 
travel  passing  through  here  during  the  season  of  navigation  renders 
tavern  keeping  a  very  profitable  branch  of  business. 

An  exiensive  staging  business  has  grown  up  here,  and. may  be  De- 
ferred to  as  an  instance  of  enterprise  and  public  spirit  on  the  part  of 
those  engaged  in  it.  The  several  lines  of  stages  centring  here, 
for  speed,  safety  and  comfort,  are  not  excelled  by  any  in  the  coun- 
try. 

The  Hydraulic  Company,  designed  to  supply  the  city  with  pure 
water  from  the  Lake,  was  incorporated  in  1836,  and  has  already 
been  the  source  of  great  utility  to  the  city,  both  in  supplying  water 
for  domestic  purposes,  and  for  the  extinguishment  of  fires.  The 
stock  is  owned  principally  by  merchants,  and  in  time  must  become 
the  srource  of  great  profit. 

Ship  building  has  been  carried  on  here  to  some  extent.  A  steam 
propeller,  registering  270  tons,  was  built  the  past  season,  and  a  schoo- 
ner of  about  200  tons  burthen,  to  be  called  the  Mariar  is  now  in  pro- 
cess of  construction  by  the  same  builder,  and  will  probably  be 
launched  in  the  spring. 

It  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  the  statistical  tables  of  this  year, 
th.it  a  laj'gc  amount  of  beef  has  been  packed  here  the  present  sea- 
soq.  We  have  four  large  packing  houses  and  all  of  them  have  done 
a  heavy  business  thus  far.  The  pork  pocking  is  only  just  com- 
mencing, but  will,  it  is  thought,  be  extensive. 

Much  might  be  said  in  commendation  of  our  Fire  Companies — 
all  of  which  are  highly  efficient,  and  bespeak  the  public  spirit  of  our 
citizens.  Our  Military  Companies  will  speulc  for  themselves. 

Considering  the  age  of  the  city,  and  the  fact  thuit  our  population 
has  been  derived  from  almost  every  nation  under  heaven,  and  speak 
so  many  different  languages — the  existing  state  of  its  society  confers 
distinction  upon  Chicago.  Among  the  new  cities  of  the  west,  we 
shall  be  entitled,  in  this  particular,  at  the  present  time,  to  an  envia- 
ble position;  the  means  now  adopted  to  improve  the  condition  of 
society  will,  at  no  distant  day,  enable  us  to  rank  with  any  city  in 
the  land.  Our  citizens  have  nlways  been  distinguished  for  intelli- 
gence and  morality — and  for  the  uniform  observance  of  all  the  pro- 
prieties of  life.  Our  common  schools,  as  the  means  of  educating 
the  rising,  generation,  have  always  been  regarded  with  the  deepest 
interest,  have  been  abundantly  provided  with  the  means  for  their 
support,  and  are  conducted  with  great  ability.  The  most  scrupu- 
lous care  is  exercised,  on  the  part  of  the  inspectors  of  public  in- 


20  DESCRIPTION,    ETC. 

struction,  in  the  selection  of  teachers;  the  schools  are  subjected  to 
frequent  examination — and  their  exists  much  emulation  among  the 
teachers. 

The  most  becoming  respect,  is  paid  to  the  institutions  and  forms 
of  public  worship.  Our  numerous  churches  and  religious  societies 
enable  every  one  to  worship  God  according  to  the  dictates  of  con- 
science. Whatever  opinions  may  be  entertained  in  regard  to  reli- 
gion, it  will  be  acknowledged  that  a  decent  respect  for  its  ordi- 
nances, is  greatly  proraotive  of  the  well-being  and  prosperity  of  any 
community. 

The  peace  and  good  order  of  society  is  worthy  of  remark. — 
Brawls  and  affrays  are  extremely  rare  in  our  streets — and  it  may 
justly  be  said,  that  a  more  peaceable  and  quiet  population  can  no 
where  be  found. 

It  will  be  impossible  in  this  connection  to  mention  particularly  all 
the  institutions  which  testify  the  public  spirit  and  benevolence  of 
the  community.  Reference,  however,  can  be  had  to  subsequent 
parts  of  the  book,  where  they  are  more  particularly  described. 

We  have  now  followed  our  subject  to  its  conclusion.  We  have 
attempted  to  exhibit  Chicago  as  it  was  in  gone-by  days — to  mark 
the  successive  stages  of  its  progress — and  to  delineate  its  condition 
at  the  present  time. 

We  h;ive  reason  to  be  proud  of  our  city — not  so  much  on  ac- 
count of  its  relative  size  among  the  other  cities  of  the  land — of  its 
present  population — and  the  amount  and  value  of  its  commerce — 
but  as  affording  a  sublime  illustration  of  what  man,  under  circum- 
stances, of  great  difficulty  and  embarrassment,  can  accomplish  in  a 
short  space  of  time. 

In  the  hope  that  its  future  history  mny  be  worthy  of  the  past— 
that  the  experience  of  the  next  and  ench  succeeding  year,  may- 
justify  our  favorable  predictions  of  it  in  regard  to  its  high  destiny — 
we  must,  for  the  present,  bid  adieu  to  the  QUEEN  CITY  OF  THE 
NORTH  WEST  ! 


NORRIS' 

CHICAGO    DIRECTORY 


REMARKS. — II  has  been  the  design  to  include  in  this  Directory  the  names 
of  all  persons  and  all  firms  in  the  City,  to  arrange  them  alphabetically; 
and  in  every  instance  to  give  the  correct  spelling.  There  may  be  cases 
however,  where  names  may  have  been  accidentally  inserted  in  the  wrong 
connection,  and  cases  also  of  incorrect  orthography — particularly  where 
persons  have  been  unable  to  spell,  and  the  name  hag  been  writien  from 
the  sound.  Abbreviations,  which  occur  only  in  a  very  few  words,  will 
readily  be  understood;  b  stands  for  between;  Rand  for  Randolph;  Mad 
'for  Madison;  Wash  for  Washington,  &c.  The  word  street,  in  some 
instances,  is  omitted.  The  place  of  business  uniformly  precedes  the 
residence. 

(mmediate  measures  will  be  taken  to  procure  the  names  of  all  persons  who 
have  been  accidentully  omitted  in  this  volume;  a  complete  list,  corrected 
from  time  to  time,  will  be  kept  at  the  Genera)  Intelligence  Office,  where 
the  public  can  at  all  times  get  correct  information  in  regard  to  the  names, 
business,  and  residence  of  every  inhabitant  of  theCity.  Persons  finding 
themselves  excluded,  and  persons  coming  to  the  City  hereafter,  are  re- 
quested to  call  at  the  above  place  and  have  their  names  enrolled. 

Very  few  of  our  buildings  are  numbered,  the  necessity,  however,  of  this 
can  be  avoided,  if  persons  occupying  buildings  permanently,  will  put 
themselves  to  the  trifling  trouble  and  expense  of  putting  their  names  on 
their  doors.

names  handed  in  too  late  for  insertion  in  the  body  of  the  Direc-

been  discovered  in  time  to  supply  the  deficiency  by  insertion  in 
the  addenda;  but  he  trusts  that  the  public  will  take  such  interest 
in  the  work  as  to  report  to  him,  as  soon  as  detected,  all  nnmes 
excluded  from  this  edition;  and  also  cases  where  names  are  in-

POPULATION   OF  THE  CITY  OF  CHICAGO, 

ACCORDING  TO  THE   CENSUS 
Taken  by  J.  W.  NORRIS,  August  1st,  1843,  under  the  authority  of 

the  Common  Council;  together  with  a  comparison  of  this  with 

the  census  of  former  periods. 

REMARKS. — The  following  census  wns  taken  with  creat  c.'ire  and 
accuracy,  all  persons  not  permanently  residing  in  the  City  being, 
in  every  instance,  excluded.  The  population  of  the  place  might 
have  been  made  much  larger  than  it  appears  to  be,  by  the  result  of 
this  census,  undoubtedly  8,500,  by  including  a  class  of  transitory 
persons  which  it  is  customary  to  compute  as  a  part  of  the  popula- 
tion of  cities ;  but  it  was  thought  advisable  to  base  the  present,  census 
upon  a  permanent  foundation;  the  census}  of  subsequent  periods 
will  then  show  the  actual  amount  of  increase.  By  transitory  per- 
sons, are  to  be  -understood  persons  not  having  n  permanent  resi- 
dence'in  either  of  the  wards  of  the  Cify,  and  persons  living  here 
but  absent  for  the  time  being — by  natives  of  other  countries,  those 
actually  boru  abroad,  and  not  their  descendants,  who  are  include4

STATISTICS    OF    CHICAGO. 


-among  the  natives  of  this  country.  It  is  proper  to  remark,  that  a 
great  increase  of  population  has  taken  place  since  the  date  of  this 
census.  The  present  population  exceeds  8000.

PORT  OF  CHICAGO. 
SETH  JOHNSON,  DEPUTY  COLLECTOR  AND  INSPECTOR. 

Revenue  Office,  Clark  street,  opposite  Saloon. 
The  following  tabular  statements  will  exhibit,  with  an  approach  to

accuracy,  the  amount  and  value  of  the  trade  of  Chicago,  to«the  close 
of  the  present  year,  1843.  A  very  serious  difficulty  has  existed, 
heretofore,  in  ascertaining  the  actual  amount  of  exports  and  imports 
of  the  place,  especially  the  exports,  owing  to  the  fact,  that  a  great 
many  vessels  arrive  and  depart,  during  the  season  of  navigation, 
without  being  reported  at  the  Custom  House,  or  leaving  any  evi- 
der.ee  of  the  character  and  amount  of  their  cargoes.  The  existence 
of  this  difficulty  was  more  particularly  set  forth  in  a  memorial  of  the 
Common  Council  to  Congress,  in  the  year  1840,  in  which  they  aJlow 
a  deduction  of  one-third  from  the  amount  known,  to  be  added,  for 
the  amount  unknown.  It  has  been  thought  advisable,  in  the  follow- 
ing statement,  to  give  only  the  actual  amount,  as  ascertained  from 
record  in  the  revenue  office,  it  being  understood,  from  the  above  ex- 
planation, that  the  estimate  is  considerably  below  the  true  amount:

destruction  of  the  Mental  Organs.  His  attention  to  the 
diseases  of  the  Nervous  System,  such  as  the  St.  Vitus' 
Dance,  Spinal  Affections,  has  resulted  in  some  remarkable 
Cures.  Having  been  engaged,  for  the  last  five  years,  in

Dispositions  of  different  persons;  which  will  be  every  way
